Jak and Daxter Collection Out Today on PS Vita

Today Jak and Daxter Collection launches on PS Vita. Now, over a decade since the Jak and Daxter series originally premiered on PS2, we are so proud to see the legacy of Naughty Dog’s work brought together for players to enjoy — no matter where their adventures take them.

Jak and Daxter Collection brings three of your favorite Jak & Daxter adventures — Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II and Jak 3 — to life like never before. Mass Media has faithfully recreated the unique gameplay mechanics that you all know and love, and added touch screen support for a selection of mini games, so get ready to catch those fish and hunt down that eco. Jak and Daxter Collection also features over 100 Trophies (including 3 Platinum) to unlock while you play through all three titles. These Trophy sets are separate from the PS3 version, so that means three more Platinum Trophies for you Trophy Hunters out there.

In addition to picking up Jak and Daxter Collection at your local game retailer, you’ll be able to download the title via PSN. Starting later today, Jak and Daxter Collection will be available on the PlayStation Store for $29.99. Grab Jak and Daxter Collection today, and experience the full evolution of the franchise. You’re in for some wild, hilarious adventures — enjoy!

Any chance these will be released separately on PSN so you can buy them individually? I bought the first one a couple months ago for PS3 when it was on sale. I’m really just looking to get Jak 3 at this point, and it would be great to play it on Vita.

I’ve been waiting for this to come to Vita. I was a huge Naught Dog fan in the PS2 days. I wish they would go back to making open world type games like these on PS4 and leave behind the interactive movies they made on PS3… though they probably wont seeing how popular those “games” are…

Just a heads up for everybody, this game on Vita has major frame rate and graphical issues. Apparently its a really bad experience. I want SCEA to know how disappointed I am and upset that this game and the recently released R&C FFA are nearly unplayable. You are betraying the trust of Vita owners and I hope you are ashamed of the product you’re putting out. You certainly should be. The J&D games are some of my favorite games ever, and the fact that these games on Vita look AND PLAY vastly worse than THE PS2 VERSIONS is embarrassing and makes me ashamed to even be a Sony fan.

There better be a patch, even if it’s a big one, to fix all the frame rate issues in both Jak 1 and 3. Jak 2 has cruddy graphics so it’s not that skippy at all.

This port is a disgrace to Naughty Dog. I would only recommend it to newcomers to the Jak series and people who feel like they really need to play it on the Vita.

The Vita can handle so much more than the graphics in these games.. It baffles me to think that this was released in its condition. Compare it side by side by the PS3 and it just doesn’t make sense at all.

Jak and Daxter requires some pretty precise controlling and these ports just don’t allow you to do that.

Unfortunately, I heard some bad things about the quality of this port. Some rather absurd things have been overlooked, like the existence of the option to turn on or off the “controller vibration”, according to a review. There are also several problems with the graphics, performance and controls. Such a shame, ’cause I’d be all for it, had it been handled carefully.

So this article is saying that if we go into GameStop and buy Jak & Daxter for the PS Vita, we will also recieve a code to download it digitally? Or is this article stating that it’s available digitally as well as physical?

Well, I remember Jak 2 from PS2, and playing the third game somewhere, and I was overjoyed to hear they would arrive on Vita. I’m just disappointed now. At this point, what I am hearing is deterring me from buying the game. If it is still rescuable, then do whatever you can, Sony. I’m starting to wonder if you care less for Vita owners than others, so please prove me wrong…

This is waiting on my doorstep for me to go home to, along with The Last of Us (UPS messed up so it’s late). I also hit a particularly interesting point in Persona 4 Golden last night. Too many great games to play!

Ironically just finished The Last of Us, I already have these on PS2 and PS3, but I love the Jak & Daxter Series so much that I’m buying them again. Having these on a portable will be amazing! I only have $16 right now, though. I need $14 more… Meaning I can probably pick up the collection tomorrow. Probably going to replay The last of Us anyways on New Game+

This game is not enjoyable on the PSV. I never thought I would say that about this legendary trilogy. I don’t see Nintendo releasing broken Mario games. This is embarrassing…patch it or you will lose a costumer.

I bought it today and I have to admit that the framerate is terrible. It just doesnt feel as smooth as the ps3 version feels. PLEASE you HAVE TO FIX that with a patch!!!!! PLEASE!!!! Dont let us down like that. I LOVE The Jak series( bought it on every console ((Ps2,Ps3,PSV)) but do something about the issues

MY GOD! The frame rate is terrible. It makes me not want to play this game. I went back to Soul Sacrifice after 20 minutes of gameplay on J&D Collection. I totally agree with all the comment on how bad the frames are and really hope this game receives a patch soon.

This is prime a example of why people complain about ports and want more exclusives. If you’re going to port a game at least do it right like Person 4 Golden. As it stands this game is trash in my opinion which is a shame because I was really looking forward to this release. This should have not been release in its current state and we shouldn’t have to wait or rely on a patch fix what was obviously broken from the start. Someone really dropped the ball on quality assurance for J&D or Sony just didn’t give a damn.

@48 If you actually purchased the collection, can you give a more detail comment. Only two official review and 3 videos from E3 are available so far…thin to build an opinion. Comments are awfull, but sometimes people do comment without owning the actual game.
Is it comparable to Soul Sacrifice Framerate, or lower than this. If you compared it with Stranger wrath or Sly4 what would be your verdict… Graphically wiase, and animation wise.
